Robert Guiscard, the Norman military leader born around 1015, is famously depicted in art and history for his victories against the Arabs and Greeks in Apulia and Calabria, Italy. In this detailed 16th-century painting, Guiscard is shown leading his troops into battle against Muslim forces. The scene echoes an earlier victory by his successor, Roger I, also known as Roger the Norman or Roger of Hauteville. The image contrasts sharply with the destruction wrought by modern warfare, such as the salvaging efforts by French troops during World War I. Yet, the legacy of these Norman conquests endures, shaping the Mediterranean world and leaving a lasting impact on European history.
